Directions:
Open your local XML file.
This can be found in the [Magento Root]/app/etc/local.xml
Locate the follow area under the <global> node, and insert the code from line 26:
<config> <global> <install> <date>< ![CDATA[Mon, 27 Sep 2010 12:23:53 +0000]]></date> </install> <crypt> <key>< ![CDATA[demo]]></key> </crypt> <disable_local_modules>false</disable_local_modules> <resources> <db> <table_prefix>< ![CDATA[]]></table_prefix> </db> <default_setup> <connection> <host>< ![CDATA[localhost]]></host> <username>< ![CDATA[magento_user]]></username> <password>< ![CDATA[]]></password> <dbname>< ![CDATA[magento]]></dbname> <active>1</active> </connection> </default_setup> </resources> <session_save>< ![CDATA[files]]></session_save> <!-- Add the code below this line--> <session_cache_limiter>< ![CDATA[nocache]]></session_cache_limiter><!-- see http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php#82174 for possible values --> <!-- Add the code above this line--> </global>
After you save and commit your changes, clear your Magento cache for the site.
